Institute of Texan Cultures Launches Redesigned Museum Website

New Website, Powered by Americaneagle.com's idev® Platform, Developed to Better Serve the Needs of Site Visitors

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - Jul 27, 2011) - Americaneagle.com, a leading website design, development and hosting company, today announced the launch of the museum website for the Institute of Texan Cultures. The new website, located at www.texancultures.com, serves as the main portal for the museum and provides visitors with important museum information as well as a new e-commerce online store.

The Institute of Texan Cultures, a component of The University of Texas at San Antonio, is widely regarded for its exhibits, programs, and special events that examine and promote Texan heritage, ethnicity, history, social issues, and popular culture. The museum worked with Americaneagle.com to redesign the site with interactive and modern features that would excite and inform visitors.

"Our website receives all types of visitors, from local community members, to educators, to out-of-state visitors," said Aaron Parks, Chief Operations Officer for the Institute. "We needed to create a new website that would serve each of these audiences. Americaneagle.com has helped move us in the right direction with smart navigation and modern design."

The new website was built to help promote the Institute of Texan Cultures' offerings while also providing their staff with full control and flexibility to grow the site. TexanCultures.com is now equipped with Americaneagle.com's idev® CMS to allow for easy updating of museum events, news, images, videos, and more. Furthermore, the site was built to accommodate ticket purchasing and merchandise sales through the site's new e-commerce storefront, built on Americaneagle.com's idev® E-commerce Platform. Americaneagle.com is continuing to work with the Institute of Texan Cultures to add a password-protected portal for employees and educators to login for specific information.

"We are proud to have contributed to the Institute of Texan Cultures' new online presence and e-commerce store," said Michael Svanascini, President of Americaneagle.com. "The website now includes dynamic features that will help engage visitors and better showcase everything the museum has to offer."
